CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- This comes as no surprise, but this has been an extremely hot June in Charlotte. The odd thing is, we didn't even set one daily record high and it won’t even finish as one of the top five hottest Junes on record.
So far as of this post, our average temperature for June 2010 is 80.1°, which is +3.8° above average but not in the top five warmest Junes ever. Here are the top five hottest Junes on record here in Charlotte:
JUNE
81.4° 1943
80.9° 1998
80.8° 1944 1939
80.6° 1986 1952
80.4° 1925
(Remember this average temp is taking all the highs + lows and dividing by the number of days)
Here's the crazy thing as far as 90°+ days in a row are concerned. This is the most we have ever had in the month of June. So far including today we have hit 90° or better a whopping 18 days in a row/consecutively. The previous record for number of 90°+ days in row in June was 11 set twice, once in 1914 and again in 1994.
In case you're wondering, the record number of consecutive 90° days in one month is 31 set twice in August of 2007 and August 1986. The record for most days in a row with 90°+ is 33 consecutive days, but that was obviously set over a two month period.
